No, Ive been mistaken. THIS is the best song in the album. I would listen it to fall asleep, but these dubstep elements are a bit disturbing me. I think @OpenLight is right: if you make you dubstep synth in the background (dont remove it! just move it to background) it will sound very VERY awesome. I wanna give you an advice: if you want, listen to my Celestial Sphere. I made this specially for falling asleep and chilling out.
But this is really awesome. Continue making music!

Applesnitch responds:

thanks, but honestly scorpio is the best. Ill upload it here just for u, but i dont like to use newgrounds very much

For someone just starting out, this is pretty good!

I will say this though. I feel like you make excellent music at the core, of course that will only improve over time as you acquire better VST's, learn more about mixing tricks, and stuff like that. But it seems like you felt pressured to make this song a dubstep song when it would have been better off without being a dubstep song.

By that, I mean that your song sans-dubstep elements would sound somewhat plain, but would have been a slow-paced, well-written track. But at certain points, the wobble synth comes in and feels out of place. I see two things you could do to modify this track to match what you wanted for it (which of course is the most important thing, because you should only ever make music you like personally):

First, you could keep that wobble synth in, but make it part of the background, not the foreground. That would mean turning its volume down substantially and allowing it to harmonize other elements in your song. If this is done, it could be best used if it came in and left similar to how it already does, but it should be paired with something else definitely. As it stands, this wobble synth essentially carries a melody, so if you made it part of the background, you would want to introduce a new melody on a different synth.

The alternative would be to take it out altogether and make this song deliberately chilled-out. You could add simple SFX to the background to bolster the calm synth choices you made, perhaps adding a lead with heavy reverb or something similar that would give this piece an airy feel.

But regardless, I'm giving this 4/5 stars because this reminds me a TON of my early stuff, just minus the dubstep influences. I look forward to hearing what you make in the future!
